Leafs, Habs and Preds should do some sort of huge Game of Thrones Season 7 Epis. 7 meeting to talk strategies to solve an end of the World problem like this. :laugh:

Look the Habs have a huge bomb in Weber that often scores there but the rest just doesn't work. We have that weapon and it still is not enough. The Leafs have all these skills and it doesn't work. Preds have a stacked D and it doesn't come together at point.

Don't like Babs deflecting and blaming his assistants. Bad idea to create drama within the locker room right before the playoffs.

The Rags goalie had a helluva a game. Might never have such a game in the rest of his career. In the Leaf's first PP he looked like Hasek at his best. Just crazy.
I need a replay of that whole PP, because advanced stats tell me it was simply just ridiculously crazy. I've never seen something like that in terms of xGF. Nearly 5 in the span of one single PP.

I don't know what it all means, but it was one of the more dominant looking PPs that didn't end in a goal that I've ever seen. And I've been watching this game since the early 80s.

xGF = Expected goals for
It's basically Corsi/Fenwick if you were to include parameters such as shot quality, distance, etc. (aka the "danger" of a scoring chance). It's based on averages and generally stays under 3-4 in most games for a team. When you see such an elevation, it basically means the team has had a shit ton of high danger scoring chances, which seems to be what you saw too.

They still lost 4-1.

Leafs have great players obviously, I cant believe they haven't tried marner and Mathews on opposite sides so Mathews can take a 1 timer. Marner also needs to become a shooting threat to reduce the predictability but that may take time. The first change is obvious and immediate
